A real playback engine
Plays MP3, FLAC, Ogg, WAV, AAC, ALAC and legacy RealMedia (.rm/.ra), gapless through one queue, local files and streams alike.

10-band EQ & balance

The interface
Calm, fast, and made of stone
A responsive shell: a multi-pane desktop layout and a bottom-nav mobile layout render the identical feature set. Warm Tundra Cream, Inuksuk rounding, Sovereign Red used sparingly.
Legacy skins
Your Winamp skins still work
JahSing 3 carries a complete classic Winamp 2 skin engine. Press Ctrl+Shift+S and the native shell is replaced by the bitmap skin: main window, equaliser, playlist, the marquee title animations and windowshade mode.
It ships with a brand-built “Kanata stone” skin, and loads any .wsz archive you drop on it, including the ones you kept from 2004.
Video
One stage, or its own window
Video plays through the same engine and queue as everything else — full-bleed in the main stage, with the same transport bar and shortcuts as any other track.
Detach it into its own small, always-available window with Ctrl+Shift+V, and keep watching while you browse the rest of your library, radio or podcasts.
User accounts have landed. JahSing 3 now signs in with your jahsing.com account. Cross-device sync, casting to speakers, local network discovery and party listening are on the way, and JahSing 3 is a complete local player without an account. See the roadmap
